| 4. Reason for Planned Introduction of /or Amendment to Fee | In the absence of an upper limit, these fees can become unreasonable and unjust, far outstripping the cost of providing the service and significantly impacting the competitiveness of these industries, and discouraging companies from accessing large-volume, low price markets. |
| 5. Effective Date of Planned Change | October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2011 |
| 6. Consultation and Review Process Planned | The CFIA will consult with stakeholders in early 2010 on a cost recovery policy and framework, which will be used to guide the review of certain service standards and associated user fees that the CFIA and service recipients have identified as priorities, including certain animal health export certifications. |
